“洞天山堂”(Taoist Temple in the Mountains)

这幅画是东元的“洞天山堂”。这幅画有山脉、树木、岩石、桥梁和寺庙。山脉、树木、岩石都被云彩环绕。在桥梁上有三位先生。 他们似乎享受着潺潺流的声音。这幅画有两种颜色,黑色和白色。黑白的色彩给人们很深的印象。

东元是我国南唐时期著名的风景画家。东元的主要贡献是最后的造型完美的一笔,这是中国山水画的基础。汉麻纤维的笔触,这是一个主要的创新。这种技术使岩石有三维效果。

我选择了“洞天山堂”,因为雾周围的山峰特别有趣。有一些树木仅仅露出其顶部以上的浮云。这幅画表达了一种安静。

This painting is “Taoist temple in the mountains”. This painting has mountains, trees, rocks, bridge and temple. All of mountains, trees and rocks are covered by clouds. There are three gentlemen standing on a bridge. They are seem to enjoy the sound of the murmuring stream.

Tung Yuan is a famous landscape painter of the Southern T’ang. Tung Yuan’s major contribution was the final perfection of the modelling brushstroke, which is basic to Chinese landscape painting. He was a principal innovator of hemp fiber brush stroke. This technique gives third dimensional effects in the treatment of rocks.

I chose “Taoist temple in the mountains” because fogs around the peaks is particularly interesting. Some of trees are barely revealing their tops above the floating clouds. This painting conveys a sense of peacefulness.

馬远 的幅画:学者的瀑布

这张幅画又好看又有意思。这张幅画有一棵树,一个瀑布, 一座山。 在这幅画的下,有两个人;一位老师和他的学生。老师坐在公园,看看美丽的瀑布。他的意念很深。这张幅画有咖啡色、蓝色和绿色。不但漂亮,而且高质量。

这张幅画是南宋朝的, 画家是馬远。他真的是好画家,特别是他的山水画。他在杭州出生,他的家人都是画家。我选了这张幅画因为我最喜欢大自然。我觉得这张幅画让你接近大自然, 同时我也喜欢看瀑布和山。

我喜欢坐在公园里。 环境不会很热闹,很舒服, 一点儿风。空气很新鲜,没有污染。看起来这位老师是轻松轻松的。要是我在这张画里,我最喜欢在老师的旁边坐着, 一起看看这个瀑布。我会想安静得不得了,成为大自然的一部分。总之, 我爱这张幅画;很有意思,很美丽。

This painting is very good to look at and interesting. In the painting is a tree, waterfall and mountain. Two people are in the painting, a teacher and his student. The teacher sits in the park and looks at the beautiful waterfall. His thoughts are deep. This painting is brown, blue and green. It is not only beautiful, but also high quality.

This painting is by the Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan. His paintings are really good, especially his landscapes. He was born in Hangzhou and his family is all artists. Ma Yuan was the favorite painter of Emperor Guangzong. I chose this picture because I like nature. I think this picture looks real, you think you are close to nature. I also like to look at waterfalls and mountains.

I would like to sit in the park. It looks like the teacher is extremely calm. The environment is not busy, but very comfortable, with a little wind. There is very fresh air, and no pollution. If I was in this painting, I would like to sit next to the teacher and look at the waterfall. I would be extremely quiet and peaceful, and become part of nature. In general, I love this picture; it is very interesting and very beautiful.

千里江山图 (A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains)

千里江山图是一幅很有名的中国山水画。 画里有山有水。画是绿色、蓝色、黑色和黄色。因为千里江山图是大得不得了的,所以很难看到画里的小东西。比如,画中有很多的树和人。还有房子和几只船。这个画表现了古代中国的生活。

王希猛绘了千里江山图。1096年,他出生了。他是宋朝最有名的画家。在1119年,他二十三岁的时候去世了。

我看这张画的时候,我觉得中国宋朝以来变化得很多。我希望今天的山水跟这个山水一样,可是现在有很多的污染。拿北京来说吧,有一个污染危机。中国脏是脏,但是漂亮得很。千里江山图叫我想起我住在中国的时候。这张画看起来很安静,很放松, 让我想去中国看山水。我知道这张画大得不得了,可是我还想亲眼看看千里江山图。

“A Thousand Li of River and Mountains” is a very famous Chinese landscape painting. It has mountains and water. This painting is green, blue, black, and yellow. Because “A Thousand Li of River and Mountains” is extremely big, it is hard to see the small things in the painting. For example, the painting has many trees and people. It also has houses and some boats. This painting shows ancient Chinese society.

Wang Ximeng painted “A Thousand Li of River and Mountains.” In 1096, he was born. He was the most famous painter of the Song Dynasty. Emperor Huizong taught Wang Ximeng. In 1119, he died. He was 23 years old.

When I see this painting, I think about how China has changed a lot since the Song Dynasty. I wish today’s scenery and this landscape were the same, but today there is a lot of pollution. For example, Beijing has a very big pollution crisis. But although China is polluted, it is very beautiful. “A Thousand Li of River and Mountains” makes me remember when I used to live in China. This painting appears very quiet and very relaxing, and it makes me want to go to China. I know this painting is extremely big but I want to see it with my own eyes.

清明上河图

 这幅画称为“清明上河图”。画家是张择端。这幅画中有很多东西。这幅画包括了超过五百五十人。所有的人有不同的面部表情。他们还都穿着不同颜色的衣服。但是,在绘画中最重要的主题是老百姓的生活。

张择端是宋代著名画家。我之所以选择“清明上河图”,是因为它在历史中很重要。这是非常重要的,因为它给人们在宋代的生活理念 。我选择了这幅画,因为我对这幅画中所有不同的人很感兴趣。我喜欢看所有的人在做的事情。我也喜欢了解张择端对于那段历史的看法。

在这幅画中,我所看到的是一大群人都非常忙碌。我还看到一个非常不同的世界。每个人似乎都有他们正在做的事情。这么多有趣的活动让我观赏。我对画中的人们会一直感到好奇。

This painting is known as the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” painted by Zhang Zeduan. This picture says a lot of things. This picture shows more than 550 people. All of these people have different facial expressions. They also are wearing clothes of different colors. However, the most important idea in the painting is the life of the common people.

Zhang Zeduan, who painted the picture, was a famous painter who lived during the Song Dynasty. This picture that I selected, ” Along the River During the Qingming Festival “, was probably the most important historical painting that he created. This is very important because it gives the philosophy of life of the people in the Song Dynasty. I chose this picture because I am interested in all the different people in the picture. I like to see all the people are doing things. I also like looking at the past from the point of view of Zhang Zeduan.

What I see is a large group of people who are all very busy. I also see a world that is very different from today. Everyone seems to have things that they are doing. Because there are so many activities going on, there is a lot to look at. I will always be curious as to what the people in the picture are doing.

Travelers Among Mountains and Streams (谿山行旅)

这张山水画是中国很有名的画。中国人叫这张画“溪山行旅”。“溪山行旅”是宋朝的。 他叫范宽。这张山水画没有很多颜色。范宽只用黑色和红色。他写的字都是红色的。他画的东西都是黑色的。这张画里有高高的山,长长的河水,大大的石头和非常漂亮的树。

范宽是在花园出生的。今天花园是山西里的西安市。人们说,范宽的性格很坦荡和非常简单。今天人们不知道他的性格怎么样。人们只知道他的山水画很有名。

我非常喜欢这张山水画,因为这张山水画又古老又漂亮。另外,除了有很美丽的风景以外,这张画没有很多颜色。这是说,用一,兩种的颜色也能画很漂亮的花。因为这张画有各种各样的水、山等等,所以这张画对保护环境有好处。范宽表现了环境保护重要的意思。

如果我是“溪山行旅”的画家,我要用很多明亮的颜色。比如说,我要绿绿的树、蓝蓝色河水、白白的石头。 因为我非常喜欢中国的熊猫,我也要画熊猫。画熊猫?那我得要画竹木! 因为现在我不打工,所以我不能挣钱。 可是,我长大以后拿薪水的时候,我得要买这张山水画。

This painting is known as the “Travelers Among Mountains and Streams. The artist of the painting is Fan Kuan from Song Dynasty. The painting is drawn with ink. The writings are in red. The drawings are in black. We can see mountains, trees, rocks, water stream, and water fall in the painting.

Fan Kuan is a native of Hua Yuan which is known as Yao Xian in Shan Xi province today. He was known for his magnanimous character, straightforward personality in the past. However, he is known for his landscape painting today.

I like this painting because not only it is a very old piece of art but also there is no color. In addition, it is a beautiful piece of art and it shows great care for environment.

If I was the painter, I would add some bright colors to make the painting more beautiful and vivid. In addition, I would like to add animals. Because I like pandas very much, I would like to darw pandas. Draw pandas? Then I must draw bamboos too! If I have enough money I will certainly buy this painting.
